| Additional information |
The Bank of Russia has issued commemorative 3-rouble silver pieces tied to the State Hermitage Museum across multiple years, each dedicated to a specific gallery or collection within the complex. The 2014 issue in this series corresponds to the museum's ongoing 250th anniversary program, which ran from 2014 through subsequent years marking Catherine the Great's founding of the collection in 1764.
The Hermitage series is among the longest-running thematic programs in Russian commemorative coinage, with individual issues frequently showing spotting problems from the Московский монетный двор's finishing process — a known and recurring complaint among collectors of this type.
